Cadence – enabling global learning? Would tens or hundreds of millions work collaboratively for free to learn for free?

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data, Visualizations Simulations, WorkSites June 13, 2023

https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/tools/system-analysis/computational-fluid-dynamics/pre-processing-meshing.html Is there an “intro to Cadence computational fluid dynamics” that tells the hardware requirements as a function of mesh size, time step size, precision? I wanted to teach basic properties of vertical flight through the atmosphere up to orbital velocities. I wanted to start with classical shapes, then add more complexity. Then let the

BrainTruffle Fluid Dynamics

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Visualizations Simulations June 12, 2023

BrainTruffle:  Fluid dynamics feels natural once you start with quantum mechanics at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXs_vkc8hpY BrainTruffle, You need to use real measurements, on real systems, to match your different simulation strategies to real things. You are guessing by eyeball. You can get massive amounts of data from a number of places, or your own experiments. A billion

John Turner, particles with Coulomb and and gravity, Internet better practices for simulations and global collaborations

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Global Model of the Sun June 12, 2023

John Turner: N-Body Simulation with 70,000+ Particles at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSeEg5XwGGo John Turner, I can think of many ways to make this easier for humans to see, to monitor for useful event and situations, to visual new things. First, you are showing position. You can also show velocity and acceleration, you can summarize statistic on changes, you can

Infrared Detectors, Detector sensitivity, “the Jones Unit”

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Units Dimensions Formats Reference Values June 11, 2023

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Antoni-Rogalski I came across this entry for your book on ResearchGate but it does not seem to be connected to your profile. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343958463_2D_Materials_for_Infrared_and_Terahertz_Detectors I am looking at infrared detector sensitivities to see which might be getting close to where they will pick up gravitational variations. Many new detectors now can pick up what is termed

THz imaging in quantum Hall conductors and superconductors. Gravitational energy density and gradients

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Electrokinetic Electrodynamic Field Methods, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field June 10, 2023

Susumu Komiyama, I was looking for your paper, “Electron temperature of hot spots in quantum Hall conductors” and found this THz imaging paper on ResearchGate. I think at zero temperature the magnetic energy density and its gradients are important. “hot spots” are just part of it. I was looking at ways to push the fields

Florida High Magnetic Field — Reentrant Superconductivity, Spin Flop, near gravitational magnetic fields,

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Electrokinetic Electrodynamic Field Methods, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field June 9, 2023

APS Physics: Large-scale Scientific Facilities and Diplomacy at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtKEWt-WuCo Laura Greene, I have been studying (looking for ways to create and maintain) high magnetic fields (over 400 Tesla) for more than 50 years now. Every few years I check to see what MagLab has been doing, but the website always seems a bit chaotic and incomplete.

The Action Lab: Lasers, LEDS, lenses and focusing intensity to burn or illuminate things, vortex pressure

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data, Efficiency Prizes, Gravitational Engineering June 2, 2023

The Action Lab: What Happens if You Focus a 5W Laser With a Giant Magnifying Glass? Negative Kelvin Temperature! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdjTYlReE-I The intensity in Watts/meter^2 is roughly equal to the Stefan-Boltzmann constant times the 4th power of the temperature in Kelvin. When you focus parallel rays to a smaller area, the intensity goes up, and the

Global molecular research is hampered by every group creating their own website policies and practices

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data, Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency June 1, 2023

  I am reading at https://www.opnme.com/opnMINER/document-data?ocDocId=5604694&repo=pmc. The background, text color and layout are difficult to read. Is there any way to turn off the background animation, set the font weight and size to readable values? I came across a note on ResearchGate asking for proposals. I was interested in your site and purpose. For the
